Acharya Prashant responds to the question of how to know oneself by stating that you are what you do from morning to evening. Your entire daily routine is what you are; you are nothing separate from it. Whatever else you think about yourself is merely imagination. You are exactly as your life is. The matter is very simple. If you are in fear from morning to evening but claim to be brave, you are just imagining. If you live in fear, you are a coward. To know who you are, look at your life and what you do from morning to evening. If you live in fear, then you are a coward. Are you conscious? Do you know why you came to college or why you do anything in life? If you know, you are that person; if you don't, you are that kind of person. The answer to the question "What am I?" is not difficult. Look at your actions, your life, and your thoughts. You are as they are, and nothing else. This is the honest answer. The problem is that when you look at your day closely, you will see that much of it is futile. You will also realize that you never pay attention to your day. The one who never pays attention is either blind, has their eyes closed, or is careless. What you see is not as important as the fact that you are seeing. Even if you see garbage in your life, it is an auspicious thing because it proves that you can see. If you can see the garbage, you can clean it. The one who doesn't even see the garbage can never clean it. It is important to see what you are. Even if you see garbage, at least you see it. Seeing anything is better than being blind. Be fearless and speak what you see. The truth does not harm anyone. If you can say that you came to college four years ago because you didn't know anything and your parents sent you, that is a very good thing because at least today you know. You are better than the thousands who still don't know that they have been doing things their whole lives at the behest of others. If you know today that you are sick, you are better than those who are sick but don't even know it. If you know you are sick, then treatment will happen. So don't be ashamed. It is a very good thing that you know you are sick. 99 percent of people are sick, but they don't even know it. You have found something out, so don't be afraid.
